Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, Splenda sugar substitute, rolled oats, flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly blended.

Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
